“Imagine John Coltrane's A Love Supreme driven by science rather than spirituality…while Coltrane praised God, McCarthy muses musically on death and rebirth in a cyclical cosmos and how we are all linked, down to a molecular level.”
 - Chris Pearson, The Times (London)
 

“The imagery connoted through this work is brilliant, as if McCarthy were developing a score for a space odyssey film. Close your eyes and watch that imagined film in your mind as you listen.” 
– Jim Hynes, MakingTheScene.org 
 

“McCarthy, not one to shy away from a big theme…has latched onto them and created grand music…The blowing in the solo spots is inspired; the arrangements are majestic.”
- Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz
